| Message | Allowing for any party to propose a cabinet does not change that a majority must still approve. This change only prevents the old set of powers that were from controlling all the nation again. OOC: We know that Mizrachi will vote No.. so it all comes down to moderate voice of reason to decide this... |

| Message | "If Aynam refuses to accept the democratic system in this area that elected the seats of this legislature, why are you still in it? If Aynam refuses to accept the democratic system in this area that elected the seats of this legislature and the Head, why do you only recognise the results that favour you? Because your bliss was derived from ignorance of other people and now the other people have come as a rampant force. By whichever deity, deities or philosophy you ascribe to, prohibited or not, we shall be heard. Your kingdom lives only in your narrow minds." -- Isrŕkai Frjéknd |

| Message | "We were already disliked, persecuted, and denied our rightful place with our brothers in the government. This change simply makes it more difficult for tyranny to occur. IF allowing more people to have a voice in our government is an unwelcome practice, then perhaps it is not those who are called Pontesian who are detrimental to our nation" Former Leader President (Naczelnik Nasi) Representation Unit 001 tl;dr "Bite my shiny metal ass" - Bender |

| Message | "Tell us that when we are occupied. Much as we could debate your point about rightful place in government, petty partisan politics are not important at this time. If you feel the current law is unfair, that is a fine position, but fairness does not enter into politics while we are under attack. A united front is needed to defeat the Pntek invader, and we would gladly ally with any party that opposes them. If we have said harsh words about your party in the past, we ever would have imagined that you would be the type to aid the enemy. This bill does not protect from tyranny; this bill is the beginning of tyranny. Unfortunately soon you will know its full meaning." -Naczelnik Nasi Itamar Eitam |
